Thanks for the shout out Rob!! We appreciate you!!! Looks like you had a magical day in the Wizarding World :)
Always happy to shout out Mammoth Club - you guys are the best! BTW - congrats on the 24-hour challenge. It was really fun to watch. 🙂
I’m 40 seconds in and have to comment. I’ve never been to universal but I love all the content you share with us so I must watch. LOVE that you kept the ears!
Thanks so much for watching even though you don’t typically visit Universal - I hope you enjoyed it! 😃
I love love love the ears! 💖
Yea I just found your channel and im hooked. Such helpful great content!! U seem like such a nice dude
I KNEW you were a fellow Ravenclaw 😊
I was only thinking yesterday ‘I wish there was a Universal equivalent of Ear Scouts. And just like the Genie you’ve granted my wish! Thank you for all the joy your videos bring. ❤
How was the vegetarian version of the shepherd’s pie?
Shouting out the Etsy shop up top. Dude is such a class act.
Love that you’re branching out to Universal. I learned so many new things watching this video. You and Erick are awesome! Always quality videos.
Bravo, Rob and Eric. We are UOAP members and visit Universal often from Seattle. We watch many vloggers on Universal and while the Wizarding World videos are many, you both managed to capture the whimsical essence of the lands and brought your fresh perspective which keeps us coming back to your channel (even though we rarely go to House of Mouse 😂)
We look forward to seeing you two cover Universal more frequently!!!
Thanks so much for leaving us this lovely comment. I have been stressing over getting our first Universal video right, so this means a lot. 😊
Hi Rob!! I'm from Costa Rica, and I used to travel to Orlando 3 or 4 times every year for five years. Before my trips, I always watched your videos to be aware of every update or change Genie Plus made on its app or in Magic Kingdom's logistics, or any park update. Thanks, they have been so helpful, and you include every single detail of any process. They always help me organize our vacations... thank you very much!!
Rob, as a fan of your videos for years, I've got to tell you: this video about Universal Studios just made me realize how BIG of a Disney fan you are. In this video, you pointed out a lot of "buts" or "it's not that good." I love Disney, and on my travels to Orlando, all its parks are always a must, but I'm also a Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure fan, and the logistics... by far!!... are way less complicated and chaotic than Disney's.
I would love to see more Universal videos. There are 17 of us going to Universal in October of this year and we are looking for any and all tips. You are my "go to" for Disney so I know you will do an awesome job with Universal videos!
Love the Thrill-Data shout out, Rob. Always great to see valuable resources shared amongst the community. If you have any questions about the data itself, feel free to lmk!
Hi Will! Are you part of the thrill-data team? I’m kind of obsessed with the site. I think it is the best theme park resource I’ve ever seen. Really impressive data.
So glad you're covering Universal Studios now! Would love to see a video on "if it's possible to ride every attraction in one day" for each park (similar to your Disney World videos). I would also love to know "if it's possible to ride every attraction in both parks in one day with an express pass". I love how you show the time stamps of posted wait times vs actual wait times. No other vlogger does that and it really helps those of us who are only flying in for a few days plan out our park days.
This is how you create an immersive experience at a theme park. The first time I visited the Hollywood version I hadn’t even seen Harry Potter but I was so enchanted that I binged all of the movies as soon as I got home. I can’t wait to visit Orlando next year and experience everything at Universal. Epic Universe is going to be mind blowing!
Hi Rob, I was the Australian woman fangirling when I saw you and thanked you for your videos whilst you were there that day filming! Keep up the awesome work!!
Thank you for this video! I’ve watched 30 to 40 tips and tricks videos about Universal in preparation for our upcoming trip there, and this is by far the most well done! We’re doing a four-day trip, and I have a full itinerary already done, and after watching this video, I’m completely redoing the itinerary for our first day to be just a Harry Potter day. I’m not the biggest Harry Potter fan, but your video made it look like so much fun to just live in a wizards world for a day. I’m even more excited about our trip now! You didn’t just list things you can do, but you really helped organize the day and you did it in such a fun way. Thanks again!
Loved the video. I'm a Disney girl, but going back to Universal in December. Would love more videos
You have a wonderful voice! Very clear and fun! Thank you for making these videos, I've never been to universal but would love to go someday
Does this mean we can expect more Universal videos from Ear Scouts? Would absolutely love your insight on how to do Universal and Islands of Adventure. Thank you for all that you do ❤
I am so happy to watch this! Thank you!
Rob thank you so much for this video! ❤
Wasn't expecting this! Nice
Omg I was waiting for this🙌🏾🙌🏾 thank you awesome video 🫶🏽 like always!
I’m so glad y’all are starting to make Universal content. You are my favorite CZcams channel, and I love seeing the success of your channel as it grows!
Owlbert!!!! So cute! Thanks for another great video!
Love that you are sharing universal! Thank you!
This is a fantastic video! Thank you so much and I can’t wait to see more from Universal!
Love it as always , I will love to see more videos about Universal Parks.
Anthor amazing video thanks for the tips you make me look so much forward to my holiday
Yes! More Universal!!!
This was an awesome video. Thank you.
Thank you for this first video from Universal ❤
I really hope you continue to feature Universal Studios in videos.
Wow your video is fantastic!!! Love the Harry Potter ears by the way!! Lovely! ❤
Excellent Universal video!! So much good insight’
Loved learning to entry your table manually’
Owlberr is adorable’. Thank you
This is a great video. Your videos are so informative and entertaining
I was waiting for you to mention Moaning Myrtle! This was my favorite discovery when I had to use the restroom there! Loved that you went with number 2🤣
This whole video is my biggest dream, especially that little owl omg 😍🥰
Great you are doing Universal!
I love the Universal content, and the Harry Potter Quidditch Newspaper Mickey Ears is the perfect pair to wear the Universal parks! Love it!! ✨
I really found your account just in time!! Headed to Universal for the first time May 26th with my Harry Potter loving friend. Can't wait for the rest of the videos in this series, even if they come after my vacation :)
Have loved all of your Disney videos, but so glad you are doing some Universal content now too!❤
This is the video I did not know I needed! I have a Universal and Disney trip coming up soon so this video is extremely useful!
Finally!! Thank you! Most informative park vblogger . Do do a regular park day!
So so happy to see you doing universal videos. Your channel is the best and these videos will be so helpful when I'm planning my visit for next year 😁
Im here for some universal content as well! Keep em coming!
Nobody does it better than Ear Scouts! Great job Rob & Erick, this was lovely! Owlbert is the cutest thing and you are too funny😄. I’m glad you tried the black pudding ( ask Erick about moronga con cebolla y chile verde😊). There are tons of great moments in this video but the first thing that brightened up my day was you in front of the pendulum clocks 😂 ❤❤❤❤❤
Such great informative videos! We were wondering if you and Eric and lost in a Wonderland would be willing to have another contest on who can do the most in both Universal parks in 1 day with both parties going on the rides, eating etc...looking forward to see you do the Epic Universe as well.
Absolutely please do more Wizarding world videos! Loved this.
Loved this thank you
Love this video! So much fun, and I’m taking notes for my next Universal trip! I appreciated your shout out to Molly at Mammoth Club too - her HP videos are amazing as well.
Raging we're just home and won't be back for years! Love your videos and so do the kids! Will show this one to them anyway!
ty for such great videos!! I’m planning my first trip to Orlando and I have been binge watching your videos 🧡
Wow what perfect timing!
Last year your videos helped us with all things Disney.. this year we plan to go to Universal and the other channels just don’t cut it.
Can’t wait for your other Universal videos!!
Love! Love! Love! Blood pudding. My grandmother used to make it and I loved it. Great video. We are actually here now and getting great tips for our day. Thank you!
🎉 I’m so happy you’re doing a Universal one!! I love your videos and your tips made our first Disney trip a breeze! Thanks bunches ❤
Love the video rob. Nice to see you branching out. We just got back from Florida last week. Vids from you and of course molly and mamfam, were amazing for helping us out, followed all the advice and had an incredible time. Keep up the great work
One of the best video's on how to do wizarding world ❤
Magical!
I have never seen such a great video with tips for HP area! There are so many videos with repetitive tips and you managed to deliver such an awesome one!! THANK YOU! Greetings from Brazil❤
So excited to see some Universal content!! I’m keeping fingers crossed that you will cover Epic Universe once it opens!!! Love your videos 💜💜
We will definitely be doing some videos on Epic when it opens. We’re really excited about that park. 😃
Love the Universal video!! Hoping you cover more in future videos. You've taught me so much about Disney for our trip and would love to learn more about Universal with the best in the biz!
We got a good deal on Universal florida resident passes when we moved here in 2021, before Disney resumed AP sales.
So we did A LOT of universal visits! Always so blown away but how well done the wizarding world is. Disney level- if not better.
Undoubtedly, the BEST channel!!
I’m planning my first Orlando trip ever (I live in Australia, so for me it’s like a once in a lifetime investment 😅), and your videos have the most helpful tips and tricks!! I absolutely love it!
Keep going with the amazing content, Rob and Erick!!
Love!
It’s funny because I was watching some other videos on this topic as early as yesterday and I was wishing that you had done one. Perfect timing!
Nice! I hope you enjoyed it! 😃
Excellent video
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the Super Thanks - that was very kind of you! Hope you have a great time in the Wizarding World next time you visit!
Ear scout and universal ? 😍😍😍😍 wow 🤩
Up is down, left is right, dogs and cats living together!!! 😂 Hope you enjoyed the video. 🙂
I am so happy to see you covering Universal! You guys are the best!
Where did Eric buy the cute owl?
Really enjoyed this, thanks guys. (You forgot to mention the drop on Hagrids, which is probably more relevant for puking 😂).
Love this. I love the Hot butterbeer, I would drink it all the time. I would be so bummed if they were out when I go in July. Glad you tried the puking pasty, I never was even tempted. I go for the pumpkin pasty and the ginger newt cookie is one of the best cookies.
Hot Butterbeer + Ginger Newt = Happiness 🤤
We love your videos Rob and have been waiting for some Universal videos, we go there about once a year. But you have to get a wizards hat, you can’t wear ears!!
Hi Rob, I was late getting to this great video but loved your coverage like always. just wanted to say as someone who is VERY prone to nausea on rides, I Never had a problem in gringotts. Maybe across many many rides on it I’ve just been lucky in row placement? Had a little more problem with hagrids but still found it amazingly smooth. However, as a senior I’ve had problems with the stairs on the Gringotts ride The last couple of visits I’ve asked about the handicapped elevator which I once was able to use but the other time was told it was down
You’ve done it again with the suggestion of having a student or teacher do the extended tour on the hogwarts ride. I always do the basic tour and love it but, though I’ve tried the ride twice, i really find it basically unrideable! I’m disappointed they’re using that system on a ride in epic, sigh. I would really love to see the extended queue like you did though- just a great hint.
Love your Disney Guide videos xx Thank you for doing this video, would love to see more Universal videos!! #IrishMom #CreatorOfOrganisedFun
This was a great video! You covered everything I could think of. Hagrid's at night is the best. The headlights really add something! It's a shame that the park doesn't always stay open late enough to get in night rides.
Totally agree! Love Hagrid’s at night. So glad you enjoyed our first Universal video. Thanks for watching! 😃
Quick note on the hogwarts express- you need a park to park ticket, not just a two park ticket ❤
This is great info! What do you do with all the purchases? Walk around with it or can it be mailed from the park to your home?
Another super helpful video. Have you ever thought about putting affiliate link to the gear you use in the description box. I'm always interest what stuff youtubers use. what site do you use for background music and FX
Just found your channel. Every channel I've been watching for years has stopped giving useful tips. Molly use to be an encyclopedia, now she is just determined to contract diabetes. I haven't watched too many of your older videos. I'm not sure if you give any information on resorts. Last time we were there, we couldn't figure out if we could park at the resorts to do the gingerbread house crawl. (the answer is yes & no). I'm excited to watch some videos that feature something other than all the "food" at every park. Great job!
Disney goes to Universal ❤️
Very timely. Were doing 2 days at Universal before our WDW trip in July and we’ve never seen the Harry Potter area. Question, do you need the Universal app similar as you do at Disney? Thank you as always.
Awesome video! For those interested: Black pudding is kind of usual in our Argentinian BBQ... Delicious!
That’s interesting. Is it common in Argentina generally?
@@EarScouts Yes it is :) Our BBQ is a very common thing for a weekend or a familiar party. Chorizo (kind like a bbq sausage) and Morcilla (the mentioned black pudding) are like the starter of the BBQ itself. Love your channel!
I guess they are a little less strict about the "no running" rules at Universal. 3:24 Lol. Great, informative video! Looking forward to more Universal coverage on your channel 👍
Yayyy
Greatttttt
One thing the disney app could use from universal's app is being able to pin your favorite rides at anytime to a favorites list.
There’s a lot I wish Universal would “find inspiration from” in the Disney World app. 😅
@@EarScouts I'm just not a fan of how you can't pin your favorite rides to the top unless it's the day of your visit. Also, another thing universal's app has is setting an alert for when an attraction's wait time goes down to your desired wait time. It also can send you an alert when a downed attraction reopens.
I wouldn't be opposed to hagrid's motorbike instituting an individual lighting lane type of system instead of adding it to the normal express pass. Whenever it becomes available for express pass, the line is gonna be even more of a nightmare of a wait.
I am hoping they will keep it off of Express until Epic opens. That may help a bit, but it will be bad pretty much no matter how they do it. 😕
What cameras do yall use?
Ears at universal?! NOOOo😂😂😂 but I love you guys and the brand! And also thank you for being respectful of universal rule of filming, the tips! You were missing trying a few of their local beers!😂❤️
How was the vegetarian version of the shepherd’s pie?
I can see Ravenclaw, but you give serious Hufflepuff vibes.
When I took the test, I was initially bummed about not being a Gryffindor because I love McGonnagal and Hermione so much. But the more I thought about it, I’m a total Ravenclaw. I’d rather be smart and funny than courageous. 😅 Also, how is Hermione not a Ravenclaw? She may be courageous, but knowledge is definitely her calling card. 🤔
@@EarScouts 🤣 You don't need to be courageous when you're funny and that is an excellent point. Hermione's brains certainly out way her courage. ❤
Okay you convinced me to do universal. How do I get my 2 girls chosen? I told my husband he might have to slip money in a team members pocket! Lmao
Did you get any comments for wearing Ears at Universal?
The shrunken head on the Knight Bus said he was very concerned that my transfiguration spell had backfired and I was half turned into a mouse. I really wish I had been recording at the moment. 😂 One Team Member said something until she saw that they were HP-themed and then she wanted to know where to buy them. 😊
@@EarScouts lol you could have said a bad polyjuice potion accident like Cat Hermione in the Chamber of Secrets 😂
what blasphemy is this? :D J/K looking forward to watching after work sure it will be great as always
😂 - hope you enjoyed it even though it was a tad bit blasphemous.
@@EarScouts I enjoyed it as always :) I want to make it to Universal before Simpsons goes away but we'll see how it all pans out-hard to not go to Disney when I'm down that way
